About Me

Daniel Ramos Obregón is a Colombian artist, designer, drag performer, and educator currently based in Stockholm. His works often inquire about notions of human existence, specifically in contemporary society, such as the construction of the self in terms of identity, gender, and race, and the relation between mind and body, the spiritual and the material. His practice is rooted in thinking through making—in a wide range of media such as jewellery, ceramics, and leather—to create highly narrative objects and wearable art.

His works have been exhibited nationally and internationally in events such as Munich Jewellery Week, the Latinamerican Contemporary Jewellery Biennial, the Lisbon Jewellery Biennial, and the Venice Design Biennale, as well as in museums and galleries like Liljevalchs Konsthall (SWE), De Kerk–Museum Arnhem (NL), the Buenos Aires National Museum for Decorative Arts (ARG), Bayerischer Kunstgewerbeverein (GER), among others. He was a finalist in the accessory category at International Talent Support (2014) and has been nominated three times to the “Premio Lápiz de Acero” in 2015 and 2023.

Daniel graduated with a BA in Design from Universidad de los Andes in 2011–where he later worked as a professor for over 8 years–and an MA in Fashion Artefact from the London College of Fashion in 2014. He also studied in the Research Lab Craft program at Konstfack in 2024.
